Here's Why We're All Gonna Live To Be 100

This is a pic I took last week at a fundraising dinner my husband & I put together. The guy on the right is 89 years old, and still running around as our South Florida gay community's most revered social photographer. He'll be taking pics at least another 10 years. He's positively immortal, an inspiration to all of us. Perhaps some of you know him.

My pic below appeared in several gay rags, so it's not a violation to post it here. Underneath it is the caption I wrote, and was in print.

Well-known community photographer Pompano Bill (r) receives an award at Mojo restaurant from Bradley Bush, President of the Fort Lauderdale Gay Men’s Chorus, in recognition of Bill's many years of photographic excellence and service to the Chorus and the community at large

BTW, embedded in that glass award is another pic I took of Bill. It was my husband's idea to create it and present it to Bill as a surprise.

CODY4U saidwe're all gonna live to 100 because this guy is 89 and got an award?

The award was merely the ocassion that caused me to photograph him. What he represents is the hope of living a long & active life.

And being wonderfully respected, well-known, active and productive at 89. Long past the point when we used to just write off old guys, due to their age. We should all be so fortunate. And yeah, I think he's gonna make 100. And maybe others of us.

good for himWish I, or I need to meet more men like him, but sadly nearly all the people his age I meet are at my job--most/all of Med/Surge beds are being used by people his age.Great for American Pharm.Don't think so many will live as long once Medicare goes insolvent.

So, in the Art_Deco thumbnail picture, you're wearing the Black and red cap because the guy in the trophy picture on the left (you) do not look like the guy wearing the blue cap.

Does Pompano have a website? Let's see his pictures/photographs.

I just got back from buying a $19 jar of honey. Now, with a teaspoon of apple cider in 12 oz of water per day and a teaspoon of raw, unfiltered honey per day, I'm making contributions to living longer. Getting the seven hugs a day has been difficult and impossible; but, God-Life may surprise me still.

You're a much nicer looking man than one can tell in the Art-Deco thumbnail photograph.
